We stayed at the Los Balcones for two nights. We had one of the rooms facing onto the road and whilst it was noisy during the day it didn't really keep us awake at night. Some of our group had courtyard facing rooms which they said were a bit airless (not the case with our room as we could open... more

Los Balcones was a beautiful spanish mansion. The rooms were spacious, beds ok. The wood floor was a bit dirty, you had to were shoes out of the shower. Bathroom was basic, no hot water (room temp). The building itself is lovely, the common areas were very charming. Free WiFi, helpful and friendly staff, and good food in the restaurant.... more

don't stay there. the stuff of hotel is stealing from the rooms and even from the safe. we left an envelope with 2500 usd in reception safe and received back 2000 usd only. we were running to catch the outbound flight so we didn't have time to deal with police. this thing destroyed the whole image of leon and nicaragua,... more

I've stayed at Los Balcones twice now (Dec 2006 & Jan 2009). It's a nice little hotel. It's not the Hyatt or even El Convento. But it's also ~$50 not $100+ per night. The rooms are ok, not amazing, but good enough. The showers are the common (central/south american) electric heating heads. The A/C is good when working (check it... more

We just stayed at this hotel and found several problems with the hotel. The room we were assigned to the ac didn't work and the fan barely turned around, with the temperature in Leon being extremely hot and humid we needed the ac and fan to be working. The room looked liked it had not been cleaned completely, no towels... more

Great location, pleasant staff and comfortable rooms. Moderate price. Highly recommended. Interesting interior atmosphere, courtyard and interior balconies. more

This is an old hotel with lots of balconies overlooking the street and interesting nooks and crannies inside. It's about five blocks from the central square but we found more of interest in the street where the hotel is: good places to eat and a couple of backpackers with useful notice boards and a laundry service. It's probably a 3... more

Avoid this hotel. It was booked for us as part of a tour. It was dirty and uncomfortable. There were bedbugs -- my husband got 8 bites in one night. Fortunately, we only were there two nights. The TV was suspended from the ceiling, so high that we strained our necks to see it. Bath was not clean. Breakfast was... more

Attractive reception area and interior patios , very comfortable room (ceiling fan and air conditioning) and bathroom, excellent location three blocks off the central plaza and within walking distance of all the principal sights. A little street noise, but the town quiets down pretty early. The only drawback: the front-desk staff was not very helpful with arranging taxis or knowlegeable... more
